The Last Ten Seconds of Life
Soulless Hymn
Density
Metalcore, or, maybe more on the brutalcore side of stuff, but with some downtuned down tempo groove stuff going on too.  Pretty cool as it stays heavy and isn’t your cookie cutter metalcore.

Falloch
This Island, Our Funeral
Candlelight
Kind of a blackened funeral doomy type thing.  Melodic, yet dark and creepy at the same time.

Undivided
The Way Things Are
Down For Blood Recordings
A punked up hardcore with a pinch of thrash.

The Longing
Bleed
FPR Records
Female fronted basic metal, probably more on the hard rock side of things.  Nothing too remarkable… she’s got a good voice, music is kind of a light metal/easy power metal.

Shadow Eden
Perpetual Motion
ShredGuy Records
Some pretty decent metal instrumental stuff.  Kind of proggy, kind of power metally, a bit of a laid back vibe… not a shitload of noodling and overplaying.  Just cool metal without vocals.

Dead City Ruins
Dead City Ruins
Metalville Records
Southern fried metal with an ozzy-like lead vocalist

THE WAY I AM (from France)
Apocalypse? No way!
Klonosphere
Female fronted hard rock… doesn’t get into metal much at all, vox are not all opera-ey… just a decent rockin’ groove.

DWAIL (from France)
The Human Concern – Judgment & Fall
Klonosphere
Catchy groovin’ thrashy metal with a pinch of punk

Volahn
Aq’ab’al
Iron Bonhead / The Ajna Offensive / Crepusculo Negro
Raw old school black metal

Infernal Manes
Infernal Manes
Edged Circle Productions
An 80’s/90’s sounding thrashy “metal” band.

Cold Snap
World War 3
Eclipse Records
This reminds me of some nu-metal type stuff, a little older Korn type stuff with some newer slipknot type stuff, and well, some metalcore too.

Pain Of Salvation
Falling Home
InsideOut
I remember when these guys fit more into a metal category.  Now they’re more or less in the prog rock/hard rock category.  Even some jazzy stuff going on here too.

KAIPA
Sattyg
InsideOut Music
Female fronted prog rock… not really Mosh Pit material…. but for that prog show I wish I had? yeah!

The Crown
Death Is Not Dead
Century Media
First album in 5 years, and they really never had a dud in their discography… why start now?  This is 100% The Crown! Catchy fast thrashy deathy metal.  Great riffs, abrasive pissed off vocals and just all good stuff.

Gnosis (Florida)
The Third-Eye Gate LP/CD
Nuclear War Now! Productions
Dark creepy feeling death metal, reminds me of old Morbid Angel, but a bit more “underground” sounding.

Infra (Portugal)
Initiation on the Ordeals of Lower Vibrations 7″ EP
Nuclear War Now! Productions
Dark dooomy creepy plodding black metal..

Garotting Deep / For
Void Asceticism – split LP
Iron Bonehead
Garotting Deep is echoey old school black metal, and so is F0r.  Meh.

Midnight Bullet
Lose My Face
Inverse Records
Catchy hard rock with maybe a bit of a Motorhead thing going on… then you got your early 90’s sounding power ballad stuff too… not too shabby.

The Sitting Bull And The Bullshitters
Still Undead
Inverse
Melodic rock stuff… ummm, sorry, you won’t hear this on the Mosh Pit.

Dethlehem
Destroyers of the Realm
Self Released
Thrashy, a bit proggy and melodic.  It’s just overall good plain ol meat and potatoes metal.
